Net2Phone, Motorola and Cedar Point Work on Cable VoIP

Cedar Point Communications, Motorola, and Net2Phone announced an agreement focused on packet-based cable telephony services. The companies will jointly market to cable operators a VoIP offering that includes Net2Phone's expertise as a leading hosted VoIP provider, Cedar Point's SAFARI C(3) integrated switching system and SafariView Element Management System; and the Motorola Broadband Services Router (BSR) 64000 CMTS/Router and SBV5120 telephony cable modems.



In a six-year agreement with Net2Phone, Liberty Cablevision of Puerto Rico is leveraging the joint solution to provide voice, video, and high-speed Internet access bundles to subscribers. In less than five months since the launch of "triple-play" services, 43% of telephony customers subscribe to the entire bundle and 52% subscribe to telephony and video.



For Liberty Cablevision, Net2Phone is supporting the back office platform, switching and transport, ongoing operations and Tier II+ technical support to deliver a fully managed QoS IP solution. Net2Phone tracks and monitors voice quality and network performance metrics from start to finish. Net2Phone has deployed Cedar Point's switching system and performed interoperability with Motorola's CMTS and MTA. http://www.net2phone.comhttp://www.motorola.com/broadband
